THOMAS DAY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF'ON'E-HALF TO ELMORE BRIMHALL,l OF SAME PLAGE.

GALLEY- REST.

SPEIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 270,207, dated January 9, 1883,

Application tiled January 24, 1882. (No model.)

in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.

[n the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a printers case and frame provided with my improved galley-rests. Fig. 2 is a perspective Fig. 3 is a verti- W cal central longitudinal section of the same folded up or closed. Fig. 4 is a perspective of the back plate.

' Like letters of reference indicate like parts. y lmproved rests.

A A represent m B is the back plate.

C is an inclined plate, hinged at its upper end to the upper end or part of the plate B.

D is a -supporting-arm, terminating at its forward end in the upturned lip or ange D', and there hinged to the forward end of the plate C, The inner or rear end of the arm D is capable of sliding vertically on the plate B, and Ilis supported in its lowest position by means ot' the rest B'.

1t will be perceived that when theiuner 'p end ot' the arm D is raised to its highest posi- Vtion the plate (J and armD will be folded together against the back B compactly, as indicated in Fig. 3. It will also be perceived that theseparts after being folded together will remain so, their position then being such that they will be pendent. The rest may also be unfolded with facility, the forward or outer end of the plate O heilig raised for that purpose until the inner or rear end of the'arm D "is seated on the rest B', when the said arm Will support the plate()` in its inclined position, as indicated in Figs. l and 2.

In order to apply the rests AA to use, Iapply a pair ot' then] to the upper front portion of a printers frame or support, A', as represented in Fig. 1, in which "the rests A A are shown as open or unfolded and ready to receive the galley.

It will be perceived, on reference to Fig. l, that the galley may be laid upon the rests- A A, and that it will thenV be securely supported thereon in such manner that corrections of the matter in the galley may be made with facility, and other changes made therein it' necessary. When this work is completed the galley is removed and the rests A A folded in the manner already described, when, as will be perceived, they will be out of the way.

All of the details of construction shown in the diawings are not absolutely necessary or essential to my invention. For example, the parts may he hinged to each other inany suitable way which will admit of the results desired. In order to prevent the inner end ot' the arm D from being accidentally drawn oit from the rest B' while the galley is heilig snpported, .I deem it best to employ guards E E, projecting upwardly from the forward part of the said rest, and to make extensions a a on the rear corners of the arm D, which exten l `end of the plate C, and having a vertically sliding engagement on the plate B, all coinbined for operation together, substantially as and for the purpose speciiied.
